For a chance to win a copy, just comment in answer to this question: Which of the aforementioned writers (or perhaps one of your own choosing) would you most like to entertain as a dinner guest/have a cuppa joe — or a shot of bourbon — with? Please comment by midnight Eastern time, November 29, 2009. Sorry, but we can only ship to North America at this time. Winners will be announced soon after the draw. Good luck!
